Want you to hear me when I say
That the blues is back,
And it`s here to stay.

I want to tell you a story,
A story all about the blues.
I want you to listen to me baby,
While I sing it to you.
Want you to hear me when I say
That the blues is back,
And it`s here to stay.

I used to have me somebody,
She mean`t the whole world to me.
But she left me for someone else,
Left my heart in misery.

Yes, she did!
But I knew the day she left me
That the blues was gonna be a part of me.
Yes, it was.

Since you left me with the blues,
It was the last thing I thought I could use.
But I`m glad that you left me,
Left me with the blues.
If you hadn`t given me the blues,
I wouldn`t find myself someone sweet as you.

And I`m gonna tell you.
I said hey, hey, the blues is alright.
Hey, hey, the blues is alright.
I said hey, hey, the blues is alright.

Hey, hey, the blues is alright.
alright , alright
alright , alright
Every day and night.

Here we go Albert!
One more time!
